? How Much Does It Cost to Add a Socket? Cambridge Electrician Advice
Adding an extra socket may seem like a small job, but getting it done safely and neatly requires a qualified electrician — especially if you want it installed to the latest regulations.
At Titan Electrical Ltd, we’re often asked, “How much does it cost to install a new socket?” Here’s what affects the price, what’s involved, and how we quote.
? Average Cost of Installing a Socket
For most jobs, our price is around £90 per double socket.
However, the final cost depends on a few factors:
? Key factors:
-
Distance from existing power (longer cable runs take longer)
-
Wall type (solid brick vs stud walls)
-
Surface-mounted or chased in
-
Access (e.g. if we need to lift flooring)
For example:
-
Replacing an existing socket: £45–£70
-
Adding a new one close to another: £90
-
Complex install needing chasing, cable routes, or lifting floors: may be charged at an hourly rate of £60–£70/hour
